Movies that feel likeThree Men and a Leg (1997)

Friends Aldo, Giovanni, and Giacomo cross Italy from north to south for Giacomo's wedding: the father of the bride, a despotic magnate who is both their boss and father-in-law—since Aldo and Giovanni have also married into the family not for love but for money, a fate now awaiting Giacomo—has entrusted them with a priceless piece of modern art, one that looks just like a rather unremarkable wooden leg.

If you loved Three Men and a Leg, the closest films we have are That's Life (1998), Clerks (1994) and Son of Rambow (2007). All three share Three Men and a Leg's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Elling (2001).
